See, the thing (problem) with the Peace prize is that Norwegian politicians are responsible for awarding it, so they use it as a good will thing when they award it. Currently it’d look better for their careers to praise the EU than give it to Malala.

Mark: It is rotten. A business decision, rather than a real award.
EB: Heading over to Google to look up Nigel Farage. (Ten minutes later: Interesting. He wants to pull out of the EU and put England’s interests over those of the Union. I don’t blame him. And he is against bailouts. I agree.)

I’d like to say I’m surprised, but to be honest, the prize hasn’t been worth a pitcher of warm spit for over a decade. It’s become a reward for demagogues and dictators and a way to put a finger in the eye of people they don’t like.
